I did put down Bayer Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed Granules with 12 Month Insect Protection in late spring. I allowed them to get too dry and had one wilt pretty bad so I put drip irrigation on them. I was watering them every day and discovered that it was too much. So now I'm trying to let them dry out more between waterings. They are on the north side of our deck, I planted them this spring when I moved some hydrangea bushes I had planted on the west side of the house last year (too much sun there). We are located in the Kansas City area (zone 5 or 6); it's been an unusually mild summer here with more rain then we usually get. They get some early morning as well as some late afternoon sun but are in the shade for most of the day. This picture was take around 3pm at the end of July. Thanks for the help.
